Answer:

Hey there! The answer's 'no' :)

Explanation:

"On the first level, she earned 3 energy points and 8 stars."

The ratio of energy points to stars is 3:8 - we can't simplify this any more, so leave it at that.

"On the second level, she earned 2 energy points and 5 stars."

The ratio here is 2:5. We also can't simplify this.

By this, we can conclude that no, 3:8 and 2:5 aren't the same ratio!

No
3 points : stars 8

2 points : stars 5

Turn into decimals and it’s
0.375 = 0.4
Which does not equal the same
